Abstract
Progestin receptor-containing cells in the hypothalamus of the adult female green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) were examined by double-label immunocytochemical methods to determine their anatomical location, neurotransmitter content and afferent connections. Animals were ovariectomized and administered either estradiol valerate or the oil injection vehicle, and were sacrificed after 10 days of treatment. Using a monoclonal antibody raised against rabbit uterine progestin receptor (PR), the distribution of PR-immunoreactive cells in the mediobasal hypothalamus and the effect of estrogen treatment on this distribution was determined. PR-immunoreactive cells were found throughout the ventromedial nucleus (VMN), in the area between the VMN and fornix, and in the medial portion of the infundibular nucleus. Estrogen treatment dramatically increased both the number of labeled cells and the intensity of immunoreaction product in these regions. In double-immunostained sections, boutons immunoreactive for antigens indicative of serotonin, pro-opiomelanocortin derived peptides, GABA, catecholamine, neuropeptide Y, substance P, cholecystokinin, and somatostatin were demonstrated to establish synaptic contact with the soma of PR-immunoreactive hypothalamic neurons. In colchicine-pretreated animals, all PR-containing neurons in the mediobasal hypothalamus were found to contain immunoreactivity for glutamic acid decarboxylase, the enzyme required for synthesis of GABA. No evidence of colocalization with other antigens, including LHRH, was observed. Because LHRH neurons are known to receive a rich GABAergic innervation PR-containing GABAergic cells may represent steroid-sensitive sites of integration for inputs from other neural systems involved in the control of gonadotropin secretion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
